Nice birds. Shame about the blurred wire in the BG. Anyone suggest a quick fox for it?

Birds: Condors
Dunno how you'd eradicate the wire without completely blurring the entire background. Easiest way to do that is by using layers. Duplicate the original, apply a strong guassian blur to the new layer and then erase the bird, which allows the sharp bottom layer to show.

The close-up portrait is terrific, what an evil eye
 The highlights look as though they would have been tricky, really high contrast on a dark bird... You've done really well...
Wire, what wire? Aka Andrew
in regards to the OOF wire, perhaps you could try as Kerry as suggested (using layers and mask out the bird), except instead of blurring the background, replace it with something suitable from another image ?
OR, have a play with the CLONE tool and see what you can achieve... Dave

I think that the images are strong enough to stand scrutiny with or without the wire. Lovely work

Thanks for the nice comments. I was surprised that the images turned out so good - as the wire was distracting me. They are nice and sharp. The only other problem i have with them is the slight over exposure in the white fur around the birds neck.
These are great shots given the great difficulty in exposure (eg. black and white). The whites are blown a bit, and possibly could of been avoided by spot metering the white sections and using a bit of fill flash to bring out the detail in the black body.

Thanks Kipper. Good point about the spot metering. I will have to remember that for next time i am shooting something black with white highlights.
